II. BACKGROUND OF PROBELMS Keywords—Teaching quality; Foreign teachers; Satisfaction; Founded in 2004, School of Arts of M University consists Statistical analysis of the Department of Music and Dance, Department of Fine Arts and Design, and holds three undergraduate majors: I. INTRODUCTION Musicology, Fine Arts, and Public Art.

At present, there are 751 undergraduate students guarantee the continuous improvement of the teaching quality and 5 graduate students. As of June 2017, the School of colleges and universities, and is also an important content of currently has 37 faculty members (29 full-time teachers, current higher education management and reform [1]. At including 17 music studies, 7 fine arts, and 5 public arts). There present, all colleges and universities pay great attention to the are 3 full-time faculty members (3 music students). There are 6 classroom teaching of teachers and incorporate it into one of associate professors (5 in music and 1 in fine arts) and 28 the most important assessment methods of teaching quality. full-time teachers with master's degree or above. However, due to constraints imposed by various factors such as According to the Ministry of Education's “Basic Conditions establishment and treatment, the status of teachers in many for Running Regular Colleges and Universities” (Jiao-Fa [2004] colleges and universities is still severely inadequate. Therefore, No. 2), the ratio of qualified students to majors in the arts teachers from other universities or famous experts and famous major is 11:1, and the number of full-time teachers in the entrepreneurs in the industry have to be employed as external college should be reduced to 68. Therefore, The School’s teachers. This is especially true for art schools. Because of the teachers are seriously deficient and far fall short of the Ministry uneven academic level and teaching level of these external of Education’s requirements for good education. teachers, for example, due to the special nature of art colleges, many courses require teachers with rich theoretical and In order to ensure the harmonious and stable normal practical abilities.

Received: 29 January 2020; Accepted: 2 March 2020; Published: 4 March 2020 Abstract: Most of the existing research papers study the emotion recognition of Minnan songs from the perspectives of music analysis theory and music appreciation. However, these investigations do not explore any possibility of carrying out an automatic emotion recognition of Minnan songs. In this paper, we propose a model that consists of four main modules to classify the emotion of Minnan songs by using the bimodal data—song lyrics and audio. In the proposed model, an attention-based Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network is applied to extract lyrical features, and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to extract the audio features from the spectrum. Then, two kinds of extracted features are concatenated by multimodal compact bilinear pooling, and finally, the concatenated features are input to the classifying module to determine the song emotion. We designed three experiment groups to investigate the classifying performance of combinations of the four main parts, the comparisons of proposed model with the current approaches and the influence of a few key parameters on the performance of emotion recognition.

The bacterial community structures in the mixed pollutive aerosols and dust were characterized, and the key environmental factors were identified. The dominant phyla were Proteobacteria, Actinomycetes, and Firmicutes, and the relative abundance of Acidobacteria increased significantly during the episode. Additionally, marked differences in the relative abundances of the 22 detected genera were observed between the three sampling stages: The dominant genera were Rubellimicrobium and Paracoccus prior to the arrival of the dust but became Deinococcus and Chroococcidiopsis during the invasion and then Clostridium and Deinococcus afterward.
